Healthwatch Merton is working to help local people get the best out of their local health and social care services. Whether it's improving them today or helping to shape them for tomorrow.

Our success depends on you telling us what’s going on in care services in Merton and how things could change and improve. 

There are many different opportunities and ways for you to do this and we invite you to help us to create change together by ‘speaking up’ and getting involved in whichever way possible. 

Our Healthwatch Youth volunteer Beth has put together this guide to help Merton’s young people know where to look when they want to make sure they are taking care of their mental health.

So whether you’re worried about yourself or a friend; whether specific issues or symptoms have been bothering you, or you just want to make sure you keep yourself feeling stable and fulfilled, there should be something here for you.

Healthwatch England is the independent consumer champion for health and social care in England, ensuring voices of consumers and those who use services reach the ears of the decision makers. It leads and supports the Healthwatch network, made up of 152 community-focused local Healthwatch’s, of which Merton is one.

By law, those who plan and run health and social care services have to listen and respond to what Healthwatch England say. They actively seek views from all sections of the community, both at a local and national level, making sure that the overall views of people who use health and social care services are heard and taken seriously.
